Burger King Big King
by Todd Wilbur |
| The Burger Wars are becoming
the biggest food fight since that cafeteria scene from
the movie Animal House. Now the two burger giants,
McDonald's and Burger King, are cloning each other in the
bloody battle for the big burger buck. Burger King
stepped up first with the Big King -- Burger King's
version of the Big Mac. Yes, it has two all beef patties,
special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a
sesame seed bun; although everything's arranged a bit
differently, and there's no middle bun. Next, McDonald's
is rolling out the Big N' Tasty, which will bear a
striking resemblance to Burger King's Whopper. Just who
wins the fight by leveraging the popularity of the other
company's product is anyone's guess. One question though:
Did Burger King just figure out how to make a better Big
Mac? You be the judge. And don't think the two patty
pushers are done there. The fast food battlefield will
soon be splattered with ketchup, as the two companies
duke it out with new french fries. |

Spread
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons French dressing
2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon paprika
4 sesame seed hamburger buns
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
dash salt
dash pepper
8 slices American cheese
1 1/3 cups chopped lettuce
1-2 slices white onion, separated
8 dill pickle slices |
1. Prepare the spread by
combining the ingredients in a small bowl. Set this aside
until you are ready to use it.
2. Preheat your barbecue or indoor grill to high heat.
3. Divide the ground beef into 8 even portions (3 ounces
each). Roll each portion into a ball, then press each
ball flat to form a patty about the same diameter as the
bun.
4. Grill the beef patties for 2-3 minutes per side, or
until done. Lightly salt and pepper each side of the
patties.
5. As the meat cooks, brown the faces of the buns in a
hot skillet, toaster oven or face-down on the grill.
Watch the buns closely so that they do not burn.
6. Build each burger by first spreading a tablespoon of
the spread on the face of the top bun. Arrange about 1/3
cup of lettuce evenly over the spread.
7. On the bottom bun stack a patty, then a slice of
American cheese, another patty, and another slice of
cheese.
8. On the top slice of cheese arrange 2-3 separated onion
slices (rings), then 2 pickle slices.
9. Turn the top part of the burger over onto the bottom
and serve. You may also want to zap the sandwiches in the
microwave, individually, for 15-20 seconds each. |
